Commission gives notice of intent to annex adjacent properties into Zion Mountain local service district, contingent on attorney review
Summary
King County approved Resolution R2025‑29 giving notice of intent to annex additional properties into the Zion Mountain local service district for wastewater, water, fire and parks/recreation services, contingent on attorney review to ensure compliance with service‑district rules; a public annexation hearing is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m.
The King County Commission voted Sept. 30 to give notice of intent to expand the boundaries of the Zion Mountain Local Service District and annex adjacent properties to provide wastewater, water, fire and parks/recreation services. The motion (Resolution R2025‑29) was approved contingent on the county attorney’s review to ensure the notice language complies with the service‑district rules and state code.
Commissioners and representatives from the district discussed whether the notice should list only sewer or include all four services; district representatives and commissioners said including all services is clearer for future project alignment. Kevin McClause, speaking as a district representative, explained the expansion will help support a community reinvestment area and a project that will generate tax increment to fund infrastructure.
Staff explained the next procedural steps: the county must publish legally required notice, hold a 35‑day notice period and set a public hearing, after which a 60‑day protest period opens. The commission tentatively scheduled the annexation hearing for Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m., subject to attorney direction about notice publication requirements. The commission’s motion directs staff and county counsel to adjust resolution language if necessary and to coordinate hearing logistics with the county clerk/auditor.
